As I'm sure a lot of people would do. I don't think we'll charge near that
much for the CD, beacuse the goal isn't profit and I told the Jessimans' that
we wouldn't collect on it. But I think donations will be accepted to cover up-
front cost.

I think this project will be much better off being professionally
manufactured. Really, the quote isn't that expensive (besides the 650 copies
part) and I think the little extra $ is well spent.

A thought, $$ collected could go into a fund to front the cost of the next
release. I'll have to discuss that one with the Jessimans.

Yes, in accordance to their distribution agreement on www.povray.org.
